What is the feature?
We currently use MD5 for all sort of hashes, both cryptographic and not. But
- MD5 is not very reliable as crypto hash and could be replaced by Tiger-128, which is slightly faster too.
- PHP8 implements XXH algo for non-crypto hashes, which is way faster.
The only drawback of replacing MD5 seems to be that we use it also in some db queries, but this is not essential.
Thoughts?
